| | Liz Janes Done Gone Fire, 12 Songs By CD Liz Janes Discography of CDs
Liz Janes' solo debut, Done Gone Fire, is quietly compelling and dreamily remote. There is a raw, straight-to-tape, back-porch quality to these recordings, reminiscent of Cat Power, that makes Janes' work seem like a lost 78 rpm folk record. With help from Sufjan Stevens and Megan Smith of Danielson Famile, Janes ignites old spirituals that float through the pines where the sun never shines and conjures the Holy Ghost with a sexual rasp. Songs like "2 a.m." shuffle eerily like Low and then Janes adds layers of feedback noise against the simple melody. "Proposition" trods through the blues, the title track sounds like a traditional, and "Tristeza" conjures an epic melancholy. The improvisation, mistakes, and studio chatter that are sprinkled throughout Done Gone Fire can seem haphazard or under-produced, but it is part of the album's charm. Janes' epiphanies and fumbles combine to make something that seems powerfully immediate, dangerously secret, and almost too real. ~ Charles Spano

Done Gone Fire, 12 Songs By album
 $11.35   
NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. Still, there's not that much new here -- and the coda of seasonal covers, including the first sober version of "Nutrocker" ever cut, doesn't do much to break that spell. But for those already enchanted by the Orchestra, this will continue to enthrall.

Done Gone Fire, 12 Songs By CD music
$13.39
Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed ...

Done Gone Fire, 12 Songs By CD music
$12.59
Though 1998's MUTATIONS was the closest Beck had come at the time to conventional (read: non-ironic) troubadourisms, he quickly declared the album a detour and swiftly followed it up with the Prince-influenced about-face of MIDNITE VULTURES. It comes as something of a surprise, then, that he should focus his subsequent efforts on an unprecedentedly earnest singer-songwriter album like SEA CHANGE, which finds him purposefully peeling away his multiple levels of irony. Trumpeted in the press as a post-breakup album, SEA CHANGE has been called Beck's ...
